From a Birthday to a Baptism!!!

Hey all!!  This week has been pretty up and down πŸ˜…

The week started off with finding out later Monday night that it was freaking Elder Blums birthday!!!  Like what the heck?!?  So we went out and got him a cake and candles and all that fun stuff and I sang him happy birthday so that was a party.

Then the next day I wake up and I kid you not, felt like the physical manifestation of death itself.  I got so freaking sick it sucked so bad.  And my family knows, but I don't get sick very often.  Hardly ever, but when I do it's crazy!!  So yeah I'm pretty sure I had a fever that was just kicking my butt so I rested for a few days and did that πŸ˜…  Then finally on Friday I was feeling better so we went out and did stuff and we also had a zone training where we were given more instruction on the new missionary schedule that they recently announced!!

 It's some pretty cool stuff, like we are given a lot more agency in how we go about our day and we have an extra two hours on preparation day to get things done!  All in all I love the new change and I'm excited to see the new miracles that it'll bring!!  But Man did it felt good being able to get up and start working again!!  I was getting cabin fever like you would not believe!!  I mean I love studying don't get me wrong but when that's all you do for days on end you get kinda antsy to do something else J

Then on Saturday something magical happened!!! 😁  Our investigator, Sylvia, got baptized!!!  I'm soooo excited that she made this step.  I was sitting in the room and the spirit that I felt during the whole thing and especially when she was baptized was surreal to say the least.  I know that she made the right choice in getting baptized.  Like to say I'm happy is an understatement!!  Whenever I think of it or I'm reminded about it I just get super happy and I almost can't handle it πŸ˜‚

Then later on Saturday we helped a lady in the sisters area move and that was pretty interesting πŸ˜…  let's just say that there was a whole lot of stuff to get moved πŸ˜‚  we helped her out throughout the day and it was kinda funny but later that night when we were finishing up unloading all of her stuff into a storage unit we put the last thing in and Elder Blum is holding it about to put it down when the mother of the lady we were helping throws this black plastic thing into the storage unit to make sure it got in there and wham!!  It hits elder Blum square in the face πŸ˜‚  So we've been telling people that Elder Blum got hit in the face by an old lady πŸ˜‚  It was easily one of the funniest things I've ever seen πŸ˜‚  

Then Sunday rolled around and all the excitement from the day before overflowed into Sunday as well because Sylvia was confirmed a member of the church.  So me and Elder Blum went up to the circle to confirm her and afterwards when she stood up and shook everyone's hand she shook my hand and I said, "congratulations Sylvia" but I kid you not I almost wasn't able to say it because the spirit just hit me so strong and I just knew that the Holy Ghost is now her personal companion to help her in those times of need.

Later Sunday we had dinner with the Simmons and I honestly love that family so freaking much!!  They remind me so much of my family back home it's crazy!!  But I have so much love and respect for Brother Simmons.  The spirit that he was able to bring into the room when we shared our spiritual message was so strong and what I admired the most was that he pointed it out to everyone.  


I've been so happy the last few days it's unreal!! I've seen so many miracles and I thank the Lord each day for them.  My love for this area grows each day as I meet new people and help others come closer to Christ.  My testimony has been strengthened tenfold this week and I'm so thankful for the opportunities given to me by my Heavenly Father.  I love you all!!

Love,
